Niger food aid 'no longer needed'
Huh ?
Niger's prime minister says he agrees with UN plans to end large-scale food aid, which he described as an affront to the country's dignity.
According to WFP website : WFP’s operation in Niger remains only 58 percent funded, with US$23 million of the $57.6 million appeal still urgently required. As of 5 September, US$33.5 million had been confirmed.
Niamey, Niger, 15 September 2005 - With the harvest still several weeks away in most areas of Niger, WFP is ready to start a second round of food aid distributions that will target the people most in need of assistance across the country.
Niger is ranked the poorest country in the world and has suffered years of neglect by the outside world.
